Creepy atmosphere from the off. The remote Scottish location is picturesque yet something sinister lie beneath.

Alisa moves into her childhood home after her mother’s death. With questions still hanging about the disappearance of her father when she was a child she struggles to settle in the house.
Feelings of being watched and strange goings on lead to Alisa questioning her mindset.

The characters are likeable and real, the new relationships they’re forming are marred by old secrets. This story is clever and I liked the different vignettes at the beginning of each chapter showing scenarios of where her father may be now.

The claustrophobic feeling and possible supernatural tilt adds to the tension and makes an engrossing read.
